provide a necktie retainer comprising a supplemental head portion on the forward end of a collar button adapted to resiliently engage a co-operating part on the rear face of the necktie.

Another object of the invention is to provide a collar button with spaced flanges separated by a shank of non-circular cross section so that it will be held against angular movement-when in position within the buttonholes of the collar band ofa shirt, and also to provide interengaging means between the forward end of the collar button and the necktie of non-circular cross section so that the tie will also be held against angular movement relative to the collar button and the collar band.

One feature which enables me' to accomplish the above named objects'is that the collar button in addition to the usual spaced flanges or heads and a shank portion is provided with asupplemental or additional head closely adjacent and on the'front face of the I forward flange or head. A neckor shank portion between the supplemental head-and the forward flange or head of the collar button being of oval or non-circular contour. Adapted to engage the oval'or non-circular contour between the supplemental head and front flange of the collar button is a resilient fastener having portions engagingv over the supplemental head.

With the above and my invention consists in the features of construction and operation set forth in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

7 In the accompanying drawing, annexed hereto and forming part of the specification I have shown my invention embodied in a fastener or retainer for a necktie of the bow type, but it will be understood that the invention can be otherwise embodied and that the drawing is not to be construedas defining or limiting the scope of the invention, the claims appended to the specification being relied upon for that purpose. r

In the drawing- 1 I 1 Fig. 1 is a planview of the necktie retainer showing it in position retaining the necktie to the collar band of a shirt;

other objects in View.

' Fig. 4t is a plan View of a slightly modified form of the inventionl Tn'the abovement oned' drawing I have .form of collar button and necktie retainer I shown two embodiments of the invention I which are now deemed preferable, but itf is understoodthat changes and modifications may be made within the scope of the append- I ed claims without'departing from the spirit of the invention. V

Referring more in detail to the figures of r the drawing, a collar button of special and novel form adapted to engage theusual buttonholes in a neck band 7 of a. shirt and is adapted also to retain a collar 8 in place there- 'on. For that purpose the collar button shown in Fig. 3 has spaced flanges 10 and 11 separated by a shankor neck portion 12which' in the preferred form is of noncircular cross section. Formed on and preferably integral with the forward flange or head 1O of the collar button is a supplemental head 13 closely adjacent the forward flange 10 and spaced therefrom by a short shank or neck I portion 14;, also preferably of non-circular cross section. Adapted to be resiliently 1 forced over the head 13 is a co-operating member15 directly attached to the central portionof the necktie 16 on its rear face.

This member 15 is preferably made of a small piece of fiat resilient material havinga non{ circularopening17 in its center and having bent up portions around the edges of this central opening. These edges are capable of being forced over thesupplemental head l3 and are adapted to resiliently engage the noncircular section. of the short shank or neck portion 14.

In Fig. 4 a modified form of the invention is shown in whichthenecktie 18 to be retained in position is provided with a small head 19 adapted to be attached to the rear face of the necktie '18 and having a shank portion similar to that adj acentth supplemental head 13 of the collar buttonshown in Fig. 3. This closely adj acentthe front head 21 of the collar button shown in this figure.

'head 19 is adapted to engage a resilient cooperating portion 20 formed directly on and the above described means its collar button will be prevented from angularly moving rel atively to the collar band 7 of the shirt-b reason of the non circular cross section of they will be held neatly and firmly together,

so that the necktie 10 will alwaysbe maintained in .its proper horizontal. position and centrally disposed between the front openinglof the collar 8. V i What I claim is: a

A tie retainer comprising in combination, a collar button having spaced flanges spaced apart by a shank portion non-circular in cross section and adapted to be engaged by t collar band so that said collar button is held gainst angular movement relative to said band, a tie,. and interengaging head and sock et means between the forward end of said collar button and rear face of said tie, one of which is resilient, the co-operating portions of said socket and collar button being non circular in cross section and being resiliently engaged, whereby said tie is held against angular movement about said collar button.

2. A tie retainer-comprising in combination, a collar button having spaced flanges thereon, a shank between said flanges noncircular in cross section, a head formed on the forward face. of one of said'.,flanges and spaced therefromby a short shank non-circuattached thereto adapted to be resiliently forced over said head and engaging said lar in cross section, and a tie having. a socket
